Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship...The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed, if not for courage of our fearless crew the minnow would be lost... the minnow would be lost! That tune was on my mind this weekend as we planned a interisland dive trip. I was watching the weather like a hawk this past week and checked on my sources for changing weather pattern. All our tickets were booked, I had a boat on standby and the game was on...Then 4:00 am. Sat. 2/27 we hear there is a tsunami warning for Hawaii! What? What should we do? Well the best place to be in a Tsunami is either up high on the mountain or in the middle of the ocean.
So we stood by our plan and went out into the deep blue of the shores of the Garden Island. Fisherman was at the pier taking their boats out of the water and here we were going diving! Trolling was slow but the seas were flat and skies were beautiful. We later heard gas stations and store shoppers were stocking up and it was crazy! Where were we at 11:19 am (the expected time of the Tsunami to hit)?
In the ocean spearing these! The fish were so tame and it felt like we were in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands as our divers Travis Masutani, Jon Barretto, and Erick Itoman were having their best dive session in their life! Want to see more? Wait for the video to come on a future episode of "TSUNAMI DIVERS" on Hawaii Skin Diver TV!

Kyle, Will never forget that day. Never seen and so much Ulua in my life. The trip was a blast.
Yeah man, we were blessed to be there! Who needs to go to the NWHI? First time was good, second time was great, just imagine the third time we dive this spot!
